MARION F. VERNON AND OSCAR L. REEVES, OE ELDON, MISSOURI.

CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,779, dated May 24,1887.

^ Application iiled August 14, 1886. Serial No. 210,929. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MARION F. VERNON and OSCAR L. REEVES, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Eldon, in the county of- Miller and Stateof Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurn-Dashers; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact descrip tion of the samereferenee being had to the annexeddrawings, making a part of this specification, and t-o the letters andiigures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a side elevation of our invention, partly insection; Fig. 2, a top plan view with the operating-lever removed, andFig. 3 a detail View in perspective, showing the two adjoining Shanks ofthe dashenblades.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inchurn-'dashersg and it consists in the peculiar combinations and theconstruction and arrangement of parts, all as more fully hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the churn-cylinder providedwithasuitable cover, B, and above this cover, supported by posts a, is atable, O. rlhe posts c, cover B, and table O may be disconnected fromeach other for cleaning or for other purposes. The cord b is connectedto one end of a pivoted hand-lever, D, and extends down and around apulley, d, and thence down and around a similar pulley, e, and has itsend connected to the dashershalt E at a point immediately above thecover B. The cord c s connected to the handle end of the lever D, andpasses down and around a pulley, f, thence down, and has its endconnected to the dashershaft above the point of attachment of the cordb. The pulleys df are suitably connected to the opposite edges of thetable O, and the pulley e is connected between the posts a. The lever Dis pivoted between standards h, and by working said lever thedasher-shaft will have imparted to it a rotary reciprocating motion bymeans of the cords b c. The dashershaft E passes up` through the cover Band table C, the latter forming a guide for the upper extremity of theshaft, said shaft being held suspended within the churn-cylinder bymeans of the key z'. The dasher-blades F have rabbeted Shanks G, theShanks of each pair of dasher-blades, when together, forming acontinuous round shank, as shown in Fig. l, thereby enabling the Shanksto pass entirely through the dashcr shaft, and having each pair ofblades on the same horizontal plane, while said blades can be readilydetached and removed. The blades are beveled at each side on their fouredges, as shown at g, so as to render them more effective in agitatingthe cream.

Although this construction and form of dasher-blades are considered themost practical, any well-known form of blade may be substituted for thatshown without departing from the principle of our invention.

XVe are aware that a dasher'stem has been provided with pins passedthrough openings therein, on which pins were sleeved the cylindricalShanks of the dashers, and disclaim such construction, limitingourselves to our particular construction, wherein the rabbeted Shanksare deemed specially important, for reasons above pointed out.

Having now fully described our invention, what we claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the dasher shaft E, provided with transverseapertures, of the dasher-blades F, having rabbeted Shanks G, said bladesbeing arranged in pairs, the Shanks of each pair passing entirelythrough the apertures in the flasher-shaft and forming a continuousround shank, whereby the Said blades are brought upon the samehorizontal plane, substantially as described.

In testimony that we claim the above we have hereunto subscribed ournaines in the presence of two witnesses.
